Practitioners visit our rental housing communities and provide health and
wellness coaching free of charge to our residents. They help families and
individuals navigate topics like insurance and medical care and are able to
help with topics such as smoking cessation, managing chronic health problems, and preventing diabetes. Recent help
from Passport has enabled New Directions to expand these discussions with
residents.

New
Directions links Green Goals with city-wide health initiatives to eat healthy.
Urban raised-bed gardens are found at two of our rental housing complexes and
another is under way in the Midtown Neighborhood in New Albany.

Louisville-located
gardens, planted and maintained with the assistance of the University of
Kentucky Cooperative Extension and Louisville Master Gardeners, provide fresh
fruits and vegetables to our communities.
